They Named Her Nicki (Updated and Improved!)
UPDATE: Other nicknames that she has been called this morning -- Nichelodeon and Icky.
Also, I read online that the place where we got her has a practice of getting cats from the South and bringing them to NY. How do I find out if she's southern? She has a mini gun collection, but anything else that I should look for?
What, you thought that I was going to show you her face when I wouldn't show you mine? What kind of a speciest do you take me for, anyway?
Quick update: we went to the animal shelter, my friend John and Sue acted as references, which basically meant that they were phone bound for most of Saturday. John tortured me a little by saying things like "finally, I will get a chance to say a few things about you" and also singing some Manhattan Transfer song about cats. I'm not sure that he fully grasped the purpose of the reference that the shelter needed.
To make a long story short, because I know that you have to get to church, they had four kittens, we chose one, and after only an hour and a half we were on our way.
She is super sweet and we all love her (Husbandrinka has already moved out). But I think I won him over by announcing that I will call her Nicolette Sheridan Grant and that the next kitten will be Margene.
And because nothing in our family is official until we eat some cake:
Let them eat cake, indeed.

Oh that is so sweet. Congratulations.
congrats!! cats are constant entertainment, i couldn't do without all ours! i already picked the next names:
violet baudelaire
and
enid coleslaw
Trust you to post a photo of the cat's butt. You and Susan should start a Butt Blog: her bulldog's butt, and your cat's. Come to think of it, I could hop on that little round of high-jinks and throw in all the cow-butts I've posted.
We're balanced people.
Creating your own little Big Love family with cats? Do all the cat wives get their own adjacent cat houses?
Congrats! I'm sure your kids so happy!
Awww...what a cute arse she has!
Congratulations. Long my she sleep at the end of your bed, snuggle with you when it's cold and tickle your feet when she walks past them (and your bare foot and her tail brushes against it lightly).
There is nothing more contentment inducing than a cat, I swear it's true.
Please tell me you bought that cake? I don't want to be friends with someone that ices that well!
And remember...nothing says "I love you" more to a cat than a small bird or rodent left on the bed.
Nicki is a great name for a cat. She already looks indifferent.
Yay! I hope Nicki brings lots of smiles and fluffiness to your household :)
Looking forward to hearing about her exploits!
Happy kittenhood! Is there cake left for me?
Adorable! And I LOVE that you got a cake to celebrate!
May your kitty warm your hearts and laps and only pee where she's supposed to.
I am totally adopting the cake to celebrate everything policy.
Good luck with the cat - I hope she behaves well.
Typical cat, showin' the ass...
That looks a lot like one of my cats!....Nope, he's still here. Damn. I mean, great!
Congrats! may I have some cake, please? (batting eyes)
Now I can say I knew you when you were young and only had 1 cat.
Congrats! And hooray for Big-Love-themed pet names!
I'm not sure whether to give you congratulations or my condolences ;-)
I love that y'all make everything official with cake, that's brilliant ;-)
Finally! Nice ass!
Not big on cats, but big on cake.
I think that's a perfect name for a cat.
I think everything is better with cake. Congratulations!
I like cake and that one looks pretty tasty.
Nice photo of the cat's ass.
Well, she may or may not be a Southern Girl but she obviously isn't into photographs. Welcome to the Blogoshpere Nicollete Grant. And I vote the next cat is Roman.
Southern -- if she loves fried food and wants to marry a family member....
Aren't you a mom, bringing home a cake with the new kitten! And I have that IKEA kid chair too. Do you have the Flinstone-y table that goes with it??
PS - Darling kitty.
Congrats on the new kitty.
My kinda household! Cake to celebrate a new pet? Nothin' wrong with that.
Wishing you and your new family member lots of luck and lovin . . .
I would have skipped the cat altogether and gone straight for the cake.
Congrats on the new kitty! She looks like my Cameron! Husbandrinka will come around.
As a rule I never trust cats with guns, or any sort of weapon collection for that matter.
Suddenly I know the real reason behind your decision to get a cat. You were starting to run out of blog fodder and heard cats are easy to exploit.
Already, a picture of the cats butt - now that's entertainment!
Does Nicki sound like she's saying "mey'all" when she's meowing?
Also, did she get her own slice of cake? Seriously, no aspect of life should be without cake!
Congrats! When we inherited my brothers cat my hubby wasn't at all thrilled. He hates cats. Well 2 1/2 months later I will catch him lovin that cat like they are best friends! The cat also prefers to sleep with the hubby at night also. Your will always deny liking the cat but he secretly will :)
Great. Now I want another cat AND some cake.
The cat's butt is adorable, but hopefully you'll post a pic of her other end ;)
You know what they say... cats really do better in pairs. Oh, nevermind. We're only writing comments that will not give Husbandrinka ammunition... great ass on that cat!
Aw, and I know the cat must be Southern - the guns are a telltale sign! LOL, Cute cat and cake? I need to be at your celebrations!
if you start to hear ms kitty's drawl include 'mud-bog' in lieu of the more traditional 'me-ow', then you'll know.
or
should you find ms kitty's affinity for scrapple and beer to be disproportionate to anything else at any meal time, then you'll know.
I love the fact you got cake to celebrate the kitty!
I am just curious what other reasons you can have to eat cake.
Will the cat be named Nickinka?
Is this where the ass family reunion is being held???
Nice! Does she like grits? That's a dead giveaway.
I LOVE that you celebrated with a cake because that's just awesome, but you have to be kidding me with not showing the cat's face.
You certainly are a speciest -- I don't recall seeing any photos of your ass around here! Cough one up or I'm going to teach Nicki how to cough up a hairball right into one of Husbandrinka's dress shoe.
Bless her little heart. Does she enjoy sweet tea and grits? Together or separately. And does she refer to her family as "ya'll"? Do her hips swagger? If she's southern indeed, you'll have to throw her a debutant ball and get some more cake in a few years.
Awwww-- that looks like my first cat that I got in college... "Meschach" He was such a great cat. :)
Congrats on finally conning, er, I mean talking your husband into getting a kitty!
I can't wait for the cat stories to begin.
You had a cake for your new kitten? You must tell me how you celebrated homecoming with your babies! Also a cake? Something grander? Just curious.
I'm pretty sure the only reason you got a cat was that you were hoping we christen you with a new nickname:
Meow Marinka!!
ASSCAT!!!!
Hey that rhymes with ASSHAT!!!
Which means absolutely nothing!!!
Enjoy Nicki!!!
Your funny!!!
Bring on the kitty stories!
Dude, all these people congratulating you know that you got a kitten, not a baby, right?
ihatecatstheyareevilandtryingtotakeovertheworld
Congrats. I look forward to hearing about many more adventures with Nicki.
Awwww. Cat already looks right at home.
Did she enjoy the cake? Or was that photo her walking away in disgust?
Congratulations!
Welcome Catrinka!
I think we must be related...we do the cake thing too.
Welcome Nickitrinka:).
I thought her name was short for Nicolas Tzar.
And you tell she's southern by the hip flask of Southern Comfort and the slow, deep, lazy meow. Do I have to tell you everything?
Thanks for the drink, btw. God you're so lucky you did that.
HA - love the excuse for cake...so is your husband into polygamy too, or just you? LOVE the name! LMAO! Beware though, I think gray tabby's are cursed. Every time I get a gray tabby they turn out to be completely psycho! But seriously..her ass is SO cute!
sweetie, if that behemoth in the pic is a "kitten," then i'm a 16-year-old twink (hint: i'm not). boy, did they see YOU coming.
I'm Southern! If you need help interpreting her every little whim, let me know and I'll have my cat talk to your cat.
(does that sound nasty? because it sounds a little nasty to me.)
I love that the next one would be Margene!
Ok, I am a sizist ass, possibly, but isn't Nicolette a little large for a kitten? Or does she just have a large rear? Yes. I am an evil cat body fascist. I hate myself.
My own husbandrinka is in much the same place concerning our puppy or "your fucking dog" as puppy is now named. Maybe they should compare notes. Sweary notes.
My best friend growing up started to go blind in his right eye from Cat Scratch Fever and well ever since then. I keep them away. FAR away. Good luck with the cat though.
Other ways to tell she is Southern:
Big hair
making one syllable words stretch into two (as in Me-ow)
and be on the lookout for itty bitty Bibles...
Yay for the new kitty Nicki! But I must admit that I HATE Nicki on Big Love so I am a little disappointed in the choice of name. Petra has a nice ring to it though...
I had to do that whole thing with the references when I was at the shelter. What a joke. Like they're going to give me the numbers of people who can't stand them?
I see it's official! Congrats. I'm late on this obviously, but oh well. I didn't need cake anyhow.
Your cat has a fab ass. Really.
